I was officially diagnosed on June 29, 2022. I didn’t even know NETs existed. And today...less than a month later, I’ve learned so much thanks to the incredible resources that exist as a result of the beautiful NETs community. The resources available, especially the videos from LACNETS and the NET VITALS document, are so life-giving and helpful for the newly diagnosed. LACNETS contributes so much useful information to the NET community.
